Clothing review: Ida Women’s Parka by Didriksons.

Rebecca Hay

Now the weather is improving, we can cast off the extra layers and enjoy some style.

The Ida Women’s Parka by Didriksons oozes class.

It’s fully waterproof and breathable, but lightweight too, making it the idea companion on a spring walk about.

Made from shell fabric in polyamide nylon, the coat has been tested to a hydrostatic head of 8000 mm and all seams are taped. It has a detachable hood and individual fit adjustment, with a special pocket inside for the mobile phone. It comes in off white, navy, black, peat, nectarine and cascade colours.
